TS3660 rip fence issue.....

02-10-2009, 09:43 AM

Got up to the step of installing the fence on my new 3660 last night. Since it just snaps right in, it was an easy step but for some reason it doesnt slide as easy as I thought it should (not nearly as smooth as my TS2400 fence moved).

And it kinda makes a squealing noise when moving. I was wondering if it was the white plastic pieces that are riding in the rails, or maybe the fence rails are "off"?

Anyone have this happen? The rest of the assembly was uneventful, everything went together nicely and I followed all of the steps for aligning the rails, etc.

Mine squealed on my 3650 when I first used it. A little paste wax on the rails solved the problem, and it has not reoccurred in 3 years. This is a fairly common occurrence, judging by the number of times this question gets asked.

Hi, I assembled my new 3660 on weekend and had same problem. I waxed the rails and spaced the fence and still had same problem. What I discovered was the micro-adjuster thumb wheel was A) too tight in the plastic holder so I drilled the hole slightly larger B) the micro-adjuster wheel was adjusted tight to the fence face. I loosened the two screws in the bracket for the micro-adjuster and adjusted it off of the front of the rail. Presto - It glides freely and no more squeaks.
